Book Description:
In 1937, Hemingway arrived in Spain to cover the Civil War for the North American Newspaper Alliance. He filed his dispatches, but the real fruit of those years was the story of Robert Jordan, an American fighting with anti-fascist guerillas in the mountains of Spain. The story tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, the tragic death of an ideal. It lives for us because of the great disillusionment that grew out of WW II, a war frought with such high hopes and concluded so cynically with a former ally gobbling up half of the Europe we hoped to liberate.

The story takes place during the spanish civil war with Robert Jordan, an American, who joined the International Brigade attatched to the antifascist guerilla fighters. For Whom the Bell Tolls has been touted as one of the best war novels of the 20th century.
Pesonally I found the vocabulary to be a bit old fashioned for my taste. Word such as "thine, thus, thy" are just a few examples. Other than the vocabulary, which made the book somewhat painful to read, I enjoyed the story.

Read this one in High School. I don't remember much other than it's a bit sad.
